# What happens in uConnect when I update a job or event in my Career Management System (CMS)?

## Learn about what happens when you update a job or event in your Career Management System (CMS) and how it imports into your virtual career center.

 

### What happens to a uConnect post when you update it in your CMS?

When you update a job or event in your Career Management System (Handshake, Symplicity, 12Twenty, etc.), that post may have already been imported into uConnect. Whether uConnect automatically reflects those changes depends on whether the post has been manually edited in uConnect after import.

### What happens if the post has not been manually edited in uConnect?

If the imported content has not been manually edited in uConnect, all fields will automatically update with any changes that you make in your CMS during your next daily sync.

**Example:** If a Handshake event was imported into your platform, your team never edited it in uConnect, and you later updated the event description in Handshake, you will see that change reflected in uConnect after the next sync.

If you want to prevent your title and description from being overwritten during a future sync, please contact our Support Team to enable the **Prevent Overwriting** option.

If a piece of content *has* been manually edited in uConnect, than the fields will not be updated during the next sync.

### What happens if the post has been manually edited in uConnect?

If a post has been manually edited in uConnect, its fields will not be updated during the next sync. The system automatically retains your edits to the following fields, even if the corresponding values are later changed in your CMS:

- Title
- Description
- Location
